Musical collective Waters of March delivers an emotive and poignant single with Red Madrone, the second release from their upcoming self-titled EP. Featuring guest vocals from Petra Haden, the group led by Chris Connolly and Phil Carney explores a range of influences, from jazz to classical to indie rock, to create a lush soundscape.
The delicate vocals and tender instrumentals blend seamlessly to create a melancholic atmosphere, with Haden’s ethereal voice adding a haunting quality to the track. The lyrics, written by Connolly, delve into memories of his childhood spent at his father’s mountain house in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, conveying a sense of nostalgia and longing.
Red Madrone began as an ethereal guitar composition that evolved into an improvisation between Connolly and Carney, resulting in a beautifully crafted piece of music that showcases the band’s talent for creating emotional and introspective songs.
While some may find the track slow-burning, its slow build and emotional delivery create a captivating listening experience. Overall, Red Madrone is a touching and evocative single that leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
